A secured loan is backed by an asset to help guarantee the loan; this is referred to as collateral. For home improvements, the collateral used is typically your home. The amount you may be eligible to borrow is determined by the amount of equity you have in your home, which is the value of your home that exceeds the amount owed on your mortgage.

When you are considering making renovations to your home but don't have the cash upfront to pay for the projects, various options can make it possible for you. A home improvement loan allows homeowners to borrow money for their renovation plans when they don't have the savings to pay out of pocket. Home improvement needs sometimes sneak up on homeowners. Renovations can be very expensive, rack up tens of thousands of dollars, and many homeowners just don't have the funds saved for home repairs. Get more information on how home improvement loans work.
There are several things to consider before you decide to take on a home improvement project, the most important being if you can afford it. If the answer is yes, then you should look at the payment methods that work best for your budget and circumstance. Other factors you should consider before renovating are the length of time you intend to stay in your home, whether it increases your home’s value, and how you plan for your project to be completed. Learn more about factors that can help you answer the question, "Should I get a home improvement loan?"
Equity is the difference between how much money you owe on your home and the amount your home is worth. A Home Equity Loan uses that equity you have built up, from either paying off your mortgage or your home’s value increasing, to secure the loan. You will receive your funds from this loan in one lump sum. Learn more about Home Equity Loans.
A HELOC uses your home's equity just like a Home Equity Loan, but the way you receive funds is where these two products differ. Rather than receiving your loan payout in one lump sum, a HELOC gives you access to a line of credit for ongoing use. This is similar to a credit card. You won’t have to apply for another loan each time you need money—just access your HELOC. Learn more about a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).
A cash-out refinance replaces your mortgage with a new one for a larger amount, and pays you cash for the difference. With your new mortgage, you could potentially shorten your loan term, lower your interest rate AND utilize your home equity for renovation projects. Plus, you only have one loan payment.
